This Sportplan session takes a fun look at passing, working in particular on the give and go.
Giving and going is a positive attacking technique which has the added benefit of giving your team an 'extra man' as your players move forward to create options.
What's in the Session?
This session has been specifically designed to allow players of all levels and abilities to take part in this forward thinking passing training. Starting with the basics of passing, you will be able to reinforce the chest pass and the bounce pass, before progressing onto the more complex running and passing activities.
Finally, to put the skills into practice and see which team has really upped their passing game, this session finishes with a quick rotation, three-team conditioned game to see which team will be the first one to complete 10 consecutive passes. The losing side in this game will have to take a seat and be replaced by the eager sideline team!
The ball screen produces almost half of all professional offensive possessions, yet most teams still teach it as a memorised play. The modern approach trains the read - giving players a framework to decide based on what the defence does, not what the coach called.
The closeout is the most repeated defensive action in modern basketball. With fouls per game climbing in the 2025-26 season, coaches must teach defenders to contest the three without surrendering the drive or putting shooters on the line.
The 2-3 zone defence remains one of the most effective defensive systems in basketball when coached and executed properly. This guide covers the fundamentals of running a 2-3 zone, including player roles, rotations, and when to deploy it for maximum impact.
